Heavy metal rhythm-based shooter Metal: Hellsinger is making the jump from flat displays to VR later this year

Developer The Outsiders and publisher Funcom have announced that rhythm-based heavy metal shooter Metal: Hellsinger is getting a VR release. Appropriately titled Metal: Hellsinger VR, the game is coming to Meta Quest 2 and 3, Meta Quest Pro, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR later this year. Check out the trailer below.

Metal: Hellsinger puts players in the shoes of The Unknown, slaying demons in Hell to some appropriately heavy metal beats. The main goal of the game is to confront and defeat the Red Judge so that The Unknown can retrieve their voice. The game features 8 levels, and music from artists like System of a Down’s Serj Tankian, Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, Trivium’s Matt Heafy, and Arch enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz, among others.

The VR release of Metal: Hellsinger will maintain the game’s manic pace, and will have players jumping and shooting their way through hordes of hellspawn, using a plethora of different weapons in the process. Last year, Metal: Hellsinger also got its first paid DLC, Dream of the Beast. It is currently unknown whether this DLC will also be released for the VR release.

Metal: Hellsinger is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
